It is great to be back home after an equally great time at Myrtle Beach with the whole family.I learned that grandson Grayson, age 7, does not like his curly hair because, he says, older ladies "hit" on him. Daughter Amy had to purchase some hair gel and try to straighten his hair. It did not work very well, so when he got home, he got a much shorter haircut, and that made him very happy. Husband Gray got to do some fishing at the beach, and I think he really enjoyed that. Amy and the kids took a helicopter ride, and everyone rode the Skywheel. Gray and I went to many thrift stores and had fun seeing what we could discover. Having just finished restoring a boudoir lamp, I was glad to find a Cinderella coach lamp in need of restoring. We visited with Gray's sister, Elizabeth, and husband Tommy and enjoyed that very much as well.
